Shhh... don't tell em

If we are friends and you've given me a few minutes of your time, there is a good chance I blasted your ear with some sort of "amazing idea". Of course, how amazing it is, is quite subjective and chances are most are not, but that's not the point. I'm always sharing things with people, project ideas, improvements for an existing one, etc. Why? Why don't I protect them? Why do I share? Am I crazy?

Well the answer is both yes and yes. I am crazy, yes to that, and no to the yes, because I just confused you and that was part of the plan anyways. I just don't care that much... I mean, I do care, but I don't care about holding on to the idea as some sort of silver bullet that I need to save for the right life or death situation.

I think, but I could be wrong, that most people hold on to amazing ideas because they fear they will never come up with something better. If I was to think that, if I was to give into the idea that my brain outputted it's last cognitive sound thought and I just wasted it gifting it, I'm kind of accepting some negative things about myself that I'm not even willing to consider.

In other words, It would be implied that I'm done learning, that I won't grow in knowledge, that It was a fluke, not something that came out of my brain because I've been accumulating some wisdom from other people, that it was mine alone, that it wasn't because someone taught me something that evoked those thoughts. Do you see what I mean? I have to believe in some crazy things in order for those thoughts to make sense and I'm not willing to do so.

Here is the funny thing though. Most people in the world will tell you to guard your ideas, they will tell you that opensource is stupid, that you must sign NDA with the bartender before you take the third shot. So, as you can imagine, when I've told some of my friends that I'm always handing out crazy ideas to people with the potential of making them true, some of them think I'm crazy and naive.

Naive? Why? Because every transaction I make has to mean money? Because every idea I've shared has to mean profit? ... Naive? - I could only accept that word if I thought that the people who I've shared them with owed me something, if I believed that if they were to implement the project, such implementation had a percentage that belonged to me, but... I don't think like that... I never have.

If it's a good idea, if it can help, if it can make the world a better place, specially here, on this freaking blockchain, don't be a scaredy cat, don't worry, more will come, share it, scream it to the winds. Allow the world to have it, it's not really yours anyways and that is just the sad truth.

I'm sure there is someone out there with some ideas in their minds that would change the world, but they are not ready to let go. I'm sure a few of them never see the light of day too. Imagine that! What a freaking tragedy, right?

Listen, my friend. Let go, I promise its liberating...
